After a long walk around the business, I found that it was even more deserted than I imagined.

Most of the shops here are closed, and more than half of them have sublease notices, which is very different from when I came here a few years ago.

After walking for a long time, Su Yi and I finally sat down at a seafood stall, which is also one of the few restaurants in the area.

After ordering a few side dishes and a few beers, I chatted with the owner.

I handed a cigarette to the boss: "Why are there so many shops to sublease here in the commercial street, I remember that a few years ago, even in the off-season, it was quite lively here, why has it become so deserted now?"

The owner of the food stall in the middle of the season took a sharp puff of his cigarette, and his words were mixed with many melancholy emotions: "Alas! ”

"How?"

The boss pulled the chair over and sat next to me: "When this place was first developed a few years ago, there was indeed a lot of traffic every day. Even in the off-season, the average daily turnover of each store is two or three thousand, and you can net more than 1,000 if you don't pay for materials and labor...... But since the Su Group opened a food street on the side of Coconut Grove Road, the business here has been getting worse day by day. ”

When the boss of Sheng Ji mentioned the Su Group, I glanced at Su Yi with my spare eyes. I wanted to see how she reacted, but she didn't pay attention to the conversation between us, and was eating the dish seriously.

In fact, she didn't have any reaction or response, which was already the best response. In this society of the jungle, it has always been the winner and the loser. What's more, the food street is also Su Yi's first masterpiece after taking office as the CEO of Indilu Travel Company.

Three years ago, because the Su Group was suspected of having illegal transactions with an official, the company's senior administrators raised funds and absconded, causing the Su Group's stock to plummet and fall into an unprecedented debt crisis.

After Su Yi became the CEO of Leadway Tourism, he took a series of remedial measures, such as the food street on Coconut Grove Road. Although a small food street can't save much, it has won a good reputation for the Su Group because of the food street.

At the same time, it has also laid a good foundation for the future financing of Sushi Group. I also believe that Liang Yiwei helped a lot when the Su Group was in a debt crisis. At least Su Group is in the southeast branch, and Liang Yiwei has invested a lot of money, so Liang Yiwei is the first son-in-law candidate in the hearts of Su Mingkai and his wife, which is very reasonable......

… …

"Then why don't you want to think about why your commercial street can't do other people's food streets. I asked.

Boss Sheng Ji thought for a long time, but just shook his head: "Then tell me, why is this?"

I didn't answer the question of the boss of Sheng Ji, but asked Su Yi, who had been silent: "Su Yi, if the business in the commercial street is better than the business in the food street, do you think it will have any impact on the Su Group?"

Su Yi replied confidently but not lacking coldly: "There is no impact at all!"

I nodded to Su Yi clearly, but the boss of Sheng Ji looked at us with a strange look, so as not to let the boss think too much, I continued to ask him:

"Do you know what is the biggest difference between your shopping street and your food court?"

Boss Sheng Ji still shook his head, and I continued:

"All the restaurants on the side of the food street are centrally managed by the Su Group, while you are all scattered self-employed, no matter what happens, they are all taking care of themselves...... The Su Group is a big business, and their promotional methods and the decoration style of each restaurant are much better than your side of the high street...... Not only that, but looking at it, your commercial street is basically seafood-based, while the restaurants on the food street are varied, and you have to compete with some other seafood shops in addition to the food street, so you can make some money from tourists in addition to the peak season, and after this peak season, you basically can't make any money......

The boss looked at me a little surprised, but finally said with a little disappointment: "According to what you say, then there is no hope for our commercial street." ”

"I can't say that, in fact, one of the biggest shortcomings of your side is that the food is too simple...... In addition to seafood, you have seafood here. Seafood is only in the peak season, do the business of tourists, and when the peak season is over, whose business do you do?"

I pointed to several real estate communities that are still under development: "If you look at the unfinished buildings around us, the people who work here are basically the low-class class, that is, we often call migrant workers, and there are new buildings here every year, and there are many migrant workers." Why do they go all the way to the food street to eat and consume, rather than eat in the nearby shopping street?"

"Why?"

"Which one would cost more to eat a seafood feast or a simple fast food? If you were them, what would you choose? The Su Group has grasped these key points, so there are not only high-end Western restaurants, seafood restaurants, but also restaurants suitable for some low-cost people on the food street. ”

The boss of the season nodded as if he didn't understand: "You mean to let me change this seafood stall into an ordinary restaurant, so that there will be no shortage of customers all year round?"

"It's more than worth it...... What I mean by this is that you don't just make seafood, you can add a few more dishes to your restaurant, and there are more tourists and construction workers here, so you can not only focus on seafood here, but also Cantonese cuisine...... A meal of seafood can earn a tourist's money, and at the same time, an ordinary fast food can also earn a low-yield consumer group. It's a win-win, so that at least it doesn't close out in the off-season. ”

After listening to my words, the boss of Sheng Ji was a little excited: "It's really better to listen to your words, than to read for ten years!"

I waved my hand: "Hey! It's just an insightful suggestion, not a good idea." ”

The boss of Sheng Ji nodded to us happily: "Insightful and insightful, young people are young people, and their thinking is always more flexible than that of us old men and old ladies...... Then I won't disturb you eating, use it slowly! ”

"Okay. ”

After the boss left, my stomach was rumbling with hunger, so I ate and drank heavily. And Su Yi, who had been silent, also spoke at this time.

She said with some reproach: "Eat slowly, don't choke." ”

I squeezed out an aggrieved expression and said to her, "I'm hungry." ”

Su Yi couldn't help but smile when she looked at me like this, but then put away her expression: "I see that what you said to that boss just now seems to make sense." ”

"Really? Tell me, I make sense. ”

"Hmm......" Su Yi thought for a long time: "What do you say?"

"Tell me the truth. ”
